  • Incredible education... but production needs work

    I’ve been a viewer/listener of SoundWorks since 2008. It has opened my mind to so many ideas about sound design and music production for film and beyond. I own a sound design company now, but still remember (and actively lean on) references and lessons I’ve learned from SWC along the way. Lessons which I might never have heard about if Michael had not had the idea to create this series. Kudos, and thank you for the years of education. That all being said… I want to echo some of the reviews that ... more

  • Amazing content — ironically awful sounding

    First. This podcast is amazing. The content is beyond awesome to hear and such a detailed dive into post audio that you are hard pressed to find elsewhere these days.

    But I can only give 4 stars because the audio mixing...or lack thereof.

    It’s incredibly ironic that a podcast mainly interviewing professional dialogue recordists, editors and mixers has such terrible audio. Depending on the episode, you may get a decently leveled mix, but on others, especially the panels and group interviews a... more

  • Very poor quality

    For a podcast about audio and I’m assuming made by people in the audio business, the actual audio quality of these podcasts sound like it’s made by 1st year students. I get sick of having one hand on the volume control as I’m listening just to mix the levels between questions and answers. If there’s more than 2 people in the episode it’s even worse with talent off mic or sharing the same mic, and forget about the quality of the audio, sounds like it’s recorded on an iPhone 3. Come on people the ... more
